I have known Phoebe most of her life. I am a teacher in the small town where she grew up, and she now is a mature, responsible young woman. Phoebe recently spent 11 days house/dog sitting for my 2 dogs and 1 cat. She was remarkable with the dogs (and the cat). My dogs are big and rambunctious, but Phoebe's calm demeanor rubbed off on them. It's like she casts a spell. Usually, when I return home after a long absence (or even not so long), my dogs go crazy and it's like they were abandoned and thought they'd never see me again. After Phoebe took care of them, they were like, "Hi mom, glad your back." and just went on like normal. I could tell that they had been totally happy with Phoebe taking care of them. They were clearly comfortable and no separation anxiety which is a first. I went away again the next week, and for the first time, felt completely comfortable, with no worries, leaving my pets. I would highly recommend Phoebe to pet sit, dog walk, house sit, whatever you need. She is amazing. (and my house was cleaner than when I left!) Thank you Phoebe!!
